Look At My Shirt!!
You know here in the U.S. we have a little something called the first amendment. Which states that you're pretty much free to express yourself in anyway possible. One such way is on shirts. You'd be pretty surprised on what they print on them these days. If you're a conservative (I'm a dirty liberal) you'll probably faint or write some angry letter to the clothes industry. I've seen things like "Got Money?", "Stop Reading My Shirt", and my favorite "How to keep an Idiot Busy (see back)". The got money one is a pretty bold statement. I'm sure if you wore that in a third world country the cops or citizens shoot you on sight.
There are even some involved with sex. OOOh he said sex, if you giggled I'm going to shoot you and you need to go back to grade school. Seriously, if your a guy or girl you'd probably would never say or tell these things to a member of the opposite sex. What do you mean well shirts like "Need Head" (its got a guy with no head on it so if you thought something dirty then your gross says the wearer) or "Pornstar". Look I get it theres a sexual innuendo there, you might as well wear a sign that needs to explain it to those (like children) who don't get it yet.
Why do we print such things on shirts? Well all goes back to the first amendment. We can say what we want when we want and by law we can't be arrested for it. I guess when it comes down to it people wear shirts to advertise and express themselves in a positive or negative way. I'm not saying shirts are bad don't wear them go nude. If you thought that I'm going to shoot you. What I'm trying to say is that you need to know what you wear shows who you are. For instance, I wear various anime related shirts every so often. What does it say, its says I like anime and I'm weird. To me I'm not going to succumb to what society wants me to wear. From the very first anime related shirt I bought (an Evangelion shirt) I always played a scenario that some random guy (A. Guy) would make fun of me. Would that stop me, no; remember the beast shall shout "I" at the scarred heart of the world.
